2 questions...

Anyone know how to disable the paddle shifters? It's going to sound like I'm an idiot...but I sometimes tap them in accord with the beat of the music, and find myself shifting up and down at random.. I came from a 07 Acura TL Type S. Which had to be in Sport Drive mode to enable the paddle shifters, aka they wouldn't turn on unless you shifted the gear **** to the left.

2nd question

Anyone experienced the howling at over 100 mph?

LOL! No helpful response, but my friend in high school used to tap her feet to the music as she drove, and we'd go lurching down the freeway all the time!

haha ... I've never tapped the horn, but when I first started driving, 21 years old now, I did tap the brake,, which was quite aggravating to folks behind me, esp in heavy traffic :-p
